Best CAI & Tune?

[Hector247]

I may get the Lund tune just because what I keep hearing and I will be able to compare.

Give us a shout if you'd like to place the order and we'll be glad to assist you.

Thanks, Jared

I would like to see what each of these tunes/cai combos do in the real world...at the strip. Seat of the pants is BS and while dyno numbers are great, the best way to gage performance mods is to track test them in the 1/4, hands down. Now who out there has the Lund, Livernois or Bama tunes/cai and what's your 1/4 time? Show us the track times....

Very happy with JLT/Livernois tune!!

What kind of power are you getting, if I may ask?

 

[markology]

You should look at a dyno of a car with just a tune, and a JLT w/tune.

Do you have links I can go to? Sorry, I've been away from this discussion for a while. Now just getting back.

Thanks.

Comparing different tunes on different cars running at different tracks can be much like comparing dyno numbers. Unless you have the everyone running on the same track at the same day, you aren't comparing apples to apples.

With me at about 5000 DA, I can guarantee if my track were still open I'd be running much slower ets and lower traps than somebody with the same mods would run at a track with a sea level DA.

I'd be more interested in seeing stock vs. tuned traps for the same car at the same track (even though the DA can vary).

Very true! I'd be willing to bet your lightly modded cars time would be slower than stock cars at my home track Atco. DA SUCKS!

I have no doubt you are right.

It is actually very depressing for someone like me. Seeing the track times and uncorrected (or very low corrected) dyno numbers being put out at around 0 DA and knowing that I am nowhere near that. When I had my 135i dyno'd, the correction factor was something like 13%


The only good thing about it, is that everyone here is playing on the same field - everyone goes slow.

I can agree with that but I am sure there are members who frequent tracks in close proximity to ea. other...it would not be reasonable for someone with similar mods..say in New Jersey to be compared to someone in Colorado. I get that. I would like to know the diff in those with tunes by the Lund, Livernois and Bama on cars in similar DA, elevation, mods and region for the sake of fair comparison.

This may be a dumb question... but is it possible to (on a brand new GT) install headers + exhaust and an intake without loading up a tune? Or would there be errors or something popping up due to the new intake/headers.

Figured I'll wait a bit before loading a tune in. Just to be safe.

Your car won't run right if you install a tune required intake and headers on a stock vehicle without a calibration. The aftermarket tune required intakes take a completely different MAF curve than the stock intake does and there's several changes that need to be made for the headers.

If you install those parts without a tune your car may not even run at all and if it does it's gonna be all messed up.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks, Jared

Thanks Jared!

I'm really enjoying my Steeda intake and tune. IAT are down 5-6 degrees and the mid and upper RPMs pull so much harder now. I love it. Couple that with their IRS Aluminum bushing kit and progressive springs. I'm now a Steeda fan boy. Won my city's "Mayor's Choice" award at our local car show two weekends ago.
